Review conclusionNot recommendedWith reservations

Only in one review: In test 60 W (120 W 10 A desktop power supply); Ripple 50 mV (12 V 120 W power supply); Efficiency 85.5 % (120 W 10 A desktop power supply); No load 0.5 W (12 V 120 W power supply).

120 W 10 A desktop power supply: Neatly assembled, but actual power is only about 60 W instead of 120 W, and it overheats at 6 A.

12 V 120 W power supply: Low ripple, but in reality it is a 100–110 W unit rather than a full 120 W supply.
